Generalized approach to quantum interference in lossy N-port devices via a singular value decomposition
Modeling quantum interference in the presence of dissipation is a critical aspect of quantum technologies. Including dissipation into the model of a linear device enables for assessing the detrimental impact of photon loss, ... -
Geometry-independent antenna based on Epsilon-near-zero medium
It is well known that electromagnetic radiation from radiating elements (e.g., antennas, apertures, etc.) shows dependence on the element’s geometry shape in terms of operating frequencies. This basic principle is ... -

Light propagation and magnon-photon coupling in optically dispersive magnetic media
Achieving strong coupling between light and matter excitations in hybrid systems is a benchmark for the implementation of quantum technologies. We recently proposed (Bittencourt, Liberal, and Viola-Kusminskiy, arXiv:2110.02984) ... -
Momentum considerations inside near-zero index materials
Near-zero index (NZI) materials, i.e., materials having a phase refractive index close to zero, are known to enhance or inhibit light-matter interactions. Most theoretical derivations of fundamental radiative processes ... -
Near-zero-index media as electromagnetic ideal fluids
Near-zero-index (NZI) supercoupling, the transmission of electromagnetic waves inside a waveguide irrespective of its shape, is a counterintuitive wave effect that finds applications in optical interconnects and engineering ... -
